Correct Answer: is one of the most effectual means of


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The original sentence is grammatically incorrect because it uses "mean" instead of "means" and lacks the definite article "the" before the phrase.

Also, the preposition "of" is required to establish the correct relationship between the phrase "most effectual means" and the action of preserving harmony.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: To be ready for a conflict is one of the most effectual means of preserving harmony.
